Afterward, we'll enjoy lunch at a nearby local restaurant in Dong Dang. Following our meal, the itinerary includes a visit to the Temple of the Mother and Dong Khe, significant for its role in the First Indochina War, particularly during the 1950 battle.

Our first night will be spent in the home of a Nung family, offering an authentic cultural experience.

Lastly, we will reach the welcoming environment of Ba Be National Park, where a local family will host us for the night. Enjoy a delicious lunch and spend the afternoon unwinding until the following day's activities.
